Answer:There are 23green marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

If Red marbles x

Green marbles 2x-5+x=37

Total is 3x-5=37

3x=37+5

X=14

Green therefore=2(14)-5=23

What are the solutions of the equation (x + 2)2 + 12(x + 2) – 14 = 0? Use u substitution and the quadratic formula to solve. x =

Maru [420]

Answer:

B. $x = -6 +/- 2\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute u for (x+2)

$u^2+12u -14=0$

use the quadratic formula

$\frac{-b plus-or-minus \sqrt{b^{2}- 4ac } }{2a}$

$\frac{-12 plus-or-minus \sqrt{200} }{2}$

$\frac{-12 plus-or-minus 10\sqrt{2} }{2}$

Then set everything equal to u: (x+2)

$u+2=\frac{-12 plus-or-minus 10\sqrt{2} }{2}$

u-2= -12 plus-or-minus 10 sqrt{2}/2

Please help me with this

MissTica

Answer:

For the question on the right, I assume b is the exponential factor, or growth factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear:

$Y=aX + b\\(X, Y) = (0, 15) => b = 15\\(X,Y) = (1, 12) => a = -3\\Y = -3X + 15$

You can find the equation by using two points and the equation for a line.

Exponential:

$Y = a^{bX+c}\\(X, Y) = (0, 81) => a^{c} = 81 => a^{c} = 3^{4} => a=3, c=4\\(X, Y) = (1, 27) => a^{b+c} = 27 => a^{b}a^{c} = 27 => a^{b} = \frac{27}{81} = \frac{1}{3} => b=-1\\Y = 3^{-X+4}$

Find each product mentally. show the steps you used.7 × 2.9

JulijaS [17]

Answer is 20.3 and the steps are:
1.) 7 x 9 = 63 move the six over the 2 leave the 3 down
2.) 7 x 2 = 14
3.) 14 + 6 = 20
4.) you have 203 but must bring the decimal down and it makes it: 20.3
I hope I helped and if you're confused please ask questions
